Everyone knows that Hostage is an unstoppable music-making beast of legendary proportions pumping out hit after hit, week in and week out. And he’s been a busy, busy boy since his Radio 1 Essential mix earlier in the summer, playing alongside Annie Mac at the Manchester Apollo, Rockness Festival and he set the Arcadia Afterburner stage at Glastonbury ablaze -literally! Not to be restrained in the slightest, he’s back with 2 killer new tunes on this, his first free Ep on Nightshifters.
With “Roll” we see Hostage shows us a slightly more subtle hand, well, that’s before the bass drops! With “The Ba$$” he’s back at his no-holds-barred-kicking-down-the-fucking-rave-door approach with one of the most ridiculous noise-bass drops you’ll hear this year. It’s massive!!
With tracks this good, we had to pull together some remixes to make a nice tidy package for you so we asked Samo Sound Boy to turn on his Bubblin machine to bring you a bouncy dancehall flavored remix of the lead track while Figure takes the bass for a wobbly thrill ride. Nightshifters honcho Dj Donna Summer smacks you with some garage-flavored orchestral-rave to round out the set. That’s not a genre you see too often, now is it?

Everybody just chill out. It’s going to be alright.
Anoraak began as a bedroom-based project about eight years ago, as Frederic Riviere searched for sound engineer work and found nothing but bar gigs.
“Everyone is an engineer in Paris,” says Riviere aka Anoraak “It’s like coming to L.A. and trying to be an actor.”
It wasn’t long before Riviere reached a breaking point, after his role in several indie rock bands started to feel like “just another job.” Determined to find his calling in the West of France, Riviere joined his old friends in Nantes (a city Time once called the most livable spot in all of Europe) and helped launch the Valerie collective/blog. Before he knew it, Riviere was channeling his childhood on the Nightdrive With You EP, a buzz-stirring attempt at everything from moon-lit club music (the title track) to Boards of Canada-inspired IDM (“Endless Summer”).
Similar traces of melancholy slip into Wherever the Sun Sets (see: the richly-layered instrumental loops of “Midnight Sunset”) as well. But let’s be honest—it’s a feel-good full-length for the most part., a seamless blend of live and programmed elements that’s essentially an electronic take on the SoCal rock LPs (Weezer, That Dog) that Riviere loved as a kid growing up in the South of France (the Medieval city where Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was filmed, if you must know). SoCal in spirit, at least, as standout tracks like “Try Me” and “Long Hot Summer Night” absolutely nail the essence of being on a beach without a care in the world. And then there’s “Don’t Be Afraid” and “Dolphins & Highways,” a pair of from-dusk-’til-dawn ballads that feature an alt-disco diva (Sally Shapiro) and Scottish folk singer (Siobhan Wilson) respectively.
Clearly, Frederic is partial to laser-guided synth lines and sepia-toned nostalgia trips, but his debut album as Anoraak (Wherever the Sun Sets) is more indebted to Italo disco, Motown-schooled funk and sepia-toned pop music—think: M83 on Ecstasy—than anything that’s lo/glo-fi or dare we say “chillwave”. Which makes sense. After all, it’s not like the French producer/singer/multi-instrumentalist picked up his first battery-powered keyboard yesterday.

Taking influence from the likes of DJ Pierre, Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk, this 2-track electro meets techno meets disco cut; their second for Wax:On Music, follows the Eskimo Twins policy to the letter.
Lead track ‘Judas’ waits a good four minutes before betraying it’s deep, chugging techno origins with a sophisticated turn-around, transforming events with throbs of nu-wave electro disco.It displays a fleeting glimpse of brightness before you find yourself back in murkier depths of analogue techno, with only the squelches and zaps holding a torch to guide you.With its bobbing 808 toms, human claps and disco-arp basslines, ‘Judas’ delivers an unfolding and irresistible groove.‘Droid’ on the flip, is tribal metal drums meets guttural, noisy synths overdriven through a wall of guitar amps.This is Sepultura and Pantera filtered through the Twin’s synthesizer laboratory and primed for warehouse raving.Stripped back beats, angry, piercing top lines and acid tweaks give way to raucous drops and wobbly basslines, showing the Twins love of noise.
If you want to download the 320 kbps versions of the tracks, they are doing the awesome Pay With A Tweet promotion. Just click the tweet button and you’ll get a link to the high quality tracks!

Manaré (aka Riot Kid) is our cousin from Paris and is undoubtedly one of the most interesting producers of the new wave of French artists. Download his first ep on Top Billin now!
Here’s what they say about him:
He caused riots as a teenager. Now that he’s (almost) an adult, he causes wars. This descendant of a family of troublemakers carries on with the traditions and honors his ancestors. As an entertainer at heart, the kid from Paris wants it all. After a very successful first E.P, that was played on Radio 1, in every club and in your girlfriend’s iPod and in which he glorified the Orient and Wes Anderson, Riot Kid is now Manaré and he’s back to tell you about horns, jazz clubs and Ecuadorian rivers.
Check his amazingly dope release with influences from tech house, Uk funky, electro and bass music. Remixes come from none other than L-VIS 1990, FRENCH FRIES & BAMBOUNOU, FEMME EN FOURRURE and MERK MENY. Definitely a release not to sleep on. Bring that bass! Enjoy the music and your summer!
Check out the whole EP at their Soundcloud page.

After Dark is an anthem in the making, a track so addictive, it makes you want to throw your hands in the air and worship the summer. It’s a perfect introduction to the duo’s album, Mega Mega Mega – an authentically British album jam-packed full of tunes for a party loving generation; a record which is unapologetically honest, playful and hedonistic.
